You cannot convince me Malcolm and Trip didn’t at least kiss during Shuttlepod One
Trip and Malcolm fucked nasty on Shuttlepod One and there's nothing you can do to disprove this truth.
Round 2 Battle 87...
TNG: S4, E07 - Reunion
ENT: S1, E16 - Shuttlepod One
TNG: S5, E07 - Unification 1
Reunion: When the leader of the Klingon High Council dies, Picard finds himself in the middle of the struggle for the now-vacant position. Meanwhile, Worf reunites with a past love, only to find he now has a son.
Shuttlepod One: A routine survey of an asteroid field turns life-threatening when Trip and Reed get stranded aboard the shuttlepod with only a few hours to find their way back to the Enterprise. Unification 1: Picard and Data follow Spock into Romulan space on a dangerous mission.
No, I don’t believe that Malcolm and Trip had gay sex off screen during the episode of Shuttlepod One. I believe they attempted to have gay sex off screen but could not agree on how it was supposed to be done, argued about it and then gave up halfway.
shuttlepod one is kind of funny actually like the enterprise is totally fine they just lost a door but trip and malcolm are totally freaking out bc they think the ship’s been destroyed and they’re now marooned in space
My absolute favourite scene with Malcolm on enterprise is from my favourite episode "shuttlepod one" when he's dreaming of T'Pal. His cute little smile is so adorable. 😊 I adore his smile so much because it's so rare.
So while I'm waiting for the next season of Lower Decks, I've decided to watch everything in chronological order, and it's been a time so far.
I don't hate Enterprise, but at the same time, it bounces wildly between captivating and middling with aggressively forced heteroerotic moments between characters who, up to the point I'm at, have shown no intrest implied or otherwise towards each other. It is painfully 2000 "haha we don't talk about the gays" kind of straight media, which is weird given how flamboyant DS9 was just 2 years before, and Rick Berman created both shows.
If it wasn't for Shuttlepod One being some of the gayest shit in Star Trek since Garak put his hands on Bashir's shoulders, I might start getting conspiratorial. It's genuinely like they decided to shove all of season one's homoerotism into that episode, I am not joking.
